Common is Changing His Mind About Tats
Rapper Common has said in the past that he doesn’t appreciate tattoos on women and finds them to be unclassy. But he’s reconsidered his view on tattoos since costarring with the tat-clad Angelina Jolie in the action film Wanted.
He tells WENN, “I have told my female assistant not to get too many tattoos because I tell her she’ll still want to look ladylike. That may sound old fashioned, but you want to be in a dress and still look ladylike.
“I understand that people use them for expression. Angelina still looks like a lady and she got a lot of tattoos, so I guess my point got broke down when my assistant mentioned that.” Source
I can see what Common is saying but the reality is that even though tattoos are becoming more popular, in certain situations they’ve still got a stigma. Angie is rich and famous and sexy and an entertainer. She could tattoo her forehead and it wouldn’t matter. But and however, someone who works in cubicle hell (quite like myself) might want to keep the tats to a minimum.
What am I talking about? I have four.
